See the Cookies and Advertising section below for additional details. The information we collect automatically may be only statistical data and may not include personal information, but we may maintain it or associate it with personal information we collect in other ways or supplement the information we collect with information from other sources to assist us in evaluating and improving our Site and the Services. This helps us to improve the Site and to deliver a better and more personalized service, including by enabling us to estimate our audience size and usage patterns, store information about your preferences, and recognize you when you return to our Site.
